Still growing....

Lady Eleanor is now around half of the length (right around 35 inches)...50% complete (minus the fringe). If you look really close to the upper left corner, you can see a little nub of a yarn end that was going to be woven in easily until one of the kitties got ahold of it when I stepped away from it. Who knows, I might be able to do something with it when I start doing the fringe.
Have I told you how much I love weekends? They are the perfect time to relax and do whatever it is you have been thinking about or putting off all week. I don't know what I would do without my weekends...probably go insane.

Today, my sis & I went over to our Grammie's to do one of our favorite Grammie activities--make Chex Mix! Our mix is pretty traditional (Rice Chex, Cheerios, pretzel sticks, peanuts, & Bugles), but we like a fair amount of garlic on ours....YUM! We have our mix process down to a science I have to tell you.

Tonight, it is out with Hubb's dad for dinner at one of the local pizzerias here in town. Last time we went, they left a little to be desired, but you can't drop out an old favorite quite yet. Hopefully tonight they will be back to their classic tastiness. Their Italian Sausage pizza is the standard, along with onion rings. We have been really careful about eating healthy lately, so this will be a treat. Maybe they will live up to their East Side Pride tonight :)

We are introducing a lot more vegetarian to our diets. I have a great vegetarian cookbook, and we have found that Whole Foods has some good recipes too (we have tried the butternut squash casserole and it was mighty tasty). Where do like to go online to get recipes?

La Pizza House is one of an East Sider's four food groups. Along with Tasty Tacos. Haha. Hope the pizza and rings were good!
